"Pill?"
Mo Yu was taken aback. Her face warped, and her lips quivered, "Could it be that... he succeeded?"
When the cauldron exploded previously, everyone thought that he had failed. However, the pill in the other party's hand was smooth and round, and it exuded a powerful yang attribute aura. If it wasn't the Searing Sun Pill, what else could it be?
"Succeeded?"
"How is this possible?"
Mo Yu exclaimed in shock. Only then did the others notice the pill in Zhang Xuan's hand, and they were dumbfounded.
What was going on?
He actually... formed a pill?
This was especially so for Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan. They felt as if they had been slapped in the face, and their bodies stiffened.
He had just reprimanded the other party righteously, and yet, he took out a pill...
The cauldron had already exploded into smithereens, so where did this thing come from?
If not for the fact that it was emanating steam and glowing brilliantly without the slightest bit of energy leaking out of it, making it seem as though it had just been forged, one might even suspect that it was a pill that had been prepared from the very beginning and was intentionally taking it out in front of everyone to put on a show.
"Didn't the cauldron explode? This pill of yours... "
Zhu Jinhuang's body trembled, and he couldn't help but ask.
The others also turned to look at Zhang Xuan. They felt their heads spinning, and they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Who said that a pill can't be forged if a cauldron explodes?" Zhang Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"An exploding cauldron can be used to forge a pill?"
Everyone felt light-headed.
Everyone knew that an exploding cauldron was a sign of a failed pill forging. Yet, this fellow's cauldron was smashed all over the place, and yet, the pill was perfectly fine. What in the world happened?
"What's going on?"
Hall Master Feng asked.
As the head of the Beast Hall, he was knowledgeable. Even so, he had never heard of such a situation before.
"The cauldron is only a medium for forging a pill. The true key to the formation of the pill is the cauldron and the medicinal herb!"
Seeing everyone's eyes widen in disbelief, Zhang Xuan explained, "Previously, when Mo Yu xiaojie placed a medicinal herb in, she didn't grasp the timing well, and the aura of the cauldron collided. However, at the very last moment, she increased the intensity of the cauldron, and the pill was already formed when the cauldron exploded."
If the other party had followed his instructions strictly, she would have been able to successfully concoct the Searing Sun Pill. However, it was a pity that Mo Yu was distracted at the crucial moment, resulting in a mistake.
However, as long as it was alchemy, the books in the Library of Heaven's Path could be updated at any time. He did not give up because of a single mistake and continued to guide the alchemy process. During the process, he kept avoiding mistakes. Although he did not protect the furnace, the alchemy pill was successfully refined in the end.
"When the furnace explodes, the pills are formed?"
"This …"
Everyone looked at each other, and all of them seemed to be driven mad.
Even though he had heard the explanation, he still found it hard to believe.
The pill was in the furnace, so how did you know it was formed?
And at the same time as the explosion … How profound was his control over the drug to be able to do this?
When others thought that he was only a beast tamer, he stood out and claimed that he was proficient in the Way of Medicine. When others thought that he was only proficient in the Way of Medicine, he stood out and claimed that he was an apothecary...
Even if he is an apothecary, we can still tolerate it. After all, it isn't a big deal for an apothecary to be proficient in multiple occupations. But to say that... he doesn't know how to forge pills?
Alright, I can accept it.
But … To be able to guide a 1-star apothecary to successfully forge a grade-2 pill despite not being proficient in pill forging, and on top of that, to form the pill while the cauldron was exploding … This is a little too much!
It is said that geniuses do not walk the normal path, but … your path is way too abnormal!
Every single time, it is beyond one's imagination!
"Since the furnace has exploded, the pill is still inside, so naturally, it's fine. However, I knew that if I didn't protect the pill quickly, the impact of the explosion would have reduced the pill to dust. Thus, I rushed over and grabbed the pill at the instant of the explosion. It's fortunate that I succeeded! "
Zhang Xuan remarked. Then, he turned to Mo Yu and said earnestly, "I was really trying to save the pill. You are an apothecary, so when the pill comes out of the furnace, it will definitely fly toward you. Thus, the best position is right in front of you. Please don't misunderstand, I really didn't mean to save you …"
"You …"
Seeing the other party's earnest expression, Mo Yu's face twitched, and her body trembled. A surge of rage rose from her chest, and she nearly exploded.
Previously, when she saw the other party rushing forward to protect her, she was touched beyond words. However, upon hearing those words, the favorable impression she had for him immediately dissipated.
Damn it, damn it!
Can't you speak some human words?
It wasn't easy for a man to win the goodwill of a beauty. Even if he didn't think of it that way, he would still pretend to be a gentleman and acknowledge it politely. Yet, he hurriedly rejected her, as though fearing that he would be implicated …
No matter what, she was one of the top beauties in the world, and on top of that, she was the princess of a kingdom.
To be in such a hurry to disassociate himself from her … What do you mean by that?
Am I not worthy of you? Or do you think that I am too ugly?
Gritting her teeth in anger, Mo Yu clenched her fists tightly. If not for the fact that she knew that she wasn't a match for the other party, she would have long pummeled him.
Taking in a few deep breaths, Zhang Xuan suppressed the rage in her heart and gritted her teeth, "As the princess of Tianwu Kingdom, I don't owe anyone a favor. Since you've saved me, you can just say whatever you want!"
"Does that mean … that I will be rewarded for saving you?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"That's right!" Mo Yu gritted her teeth.
"So that's the case!"
Zhang Xuan straightened his face and heroism shone in his eyes, "Actually, I rushed over here because I saw that you were in danger. As for the pill … That's a small matter! What's more important is to save you. Look at how injured I am. If you can give me a few million or some recovery pills, I wouldn't mind … "
"..." Mo Yu.
"..." Hall Master Feng and the others.
They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen someone as shameless as him.
As for Miss Mo Yu, she was so stifled that she almost lost her breath.
In the end, as the princess of a kingdom, she wasn't even as charming as those gold and silver objects …
"How can we save the Howling Firmament Beast now that the pill is forged? Should we feed it directly? "
Hall Master Feng's mouth twitched. Seeing that Princess Mo Yu was on the verge of tears, he hurriedly interjected to interrupt the awkward situation.
He was afraid that if he allowed things to go on like this, this princess of a Tier 1 Kingdom would die from anger.
"Oh, dissolve it with water and infuse zhenqi into it."
Zhang Xuan passed a Searing Sun Pill over and kept the other two in his storage ring.
"Alright!"
Knowing the treatment method, Hall Master Feng and the others hurriedly dissolved the pill and fed it to the unconscious Howling Firmament Beast.
Gugugu!
As soon as the medicinal liquid entered the Howling Firmament Beast's body, a thunderous sound echoed. A searing aura rose from its body, as though hot oil being ignited.
Pilipala!
Not too long later, the sound of bones creaking could be heard. The massive body of the Howling Firmament Beast grew once more, and it felt even more majestic.
Hu!
The massive savage beast opened its eyes and let out a long howl. The wind and clouds shifted, and its howl shook the entire valley.
Feeling its powerful might, all of the savage beasts in the Beast Hall shut their mouths and trembled in fear.
"This is … Half-Zhizun?"
"It advanced from Zongshi realm to Half-Zhizun?"
Hall Master Feng's eyes narrowed, and his lips quivered. Beast Tamer Lu and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
They had expected the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast to undergo a Bloodline Evolution, but they didn't expect it to be so formidable. It broke through the bottleneck of Zongshi realm and reached Half-Zhizun!
Zhizun realm was the highest realm a Fighter could reach. It was more than twice as strong as a Zongshi, a true pinnacle existence.
Even though the Howling Firmament Beast was only at Half-Zhizun, it wasn't too far away from it.
Even in Tianwu Kingdom, an expert of this caliber could be considered an ancestor!
With such a formidable savage beast guarding the Xuanluo Mountain Range Beast Hall, the standing of the entire branch would soar in an instant.
"He's right …"
Grandmaster Qing Yang's face paled, and he retreated two steps.
If he was doubtful of the young man's words previously, after seeing this sight, he understood everything.
There was nothing wrong with the other party's words. The Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast was indeed suffering from a clash of attributes, causing it to fall into a coma. If Grandmaster Qing Yang had done as he said, this powerful savage beast would have been dead by now.
As a 2-star physician, he had treated countless patients. He didn't expect that he would suffer a setback because of a savage beast. In an instant, he seemed to have aged ten years, and the imposing aura he exuded when he first arrived was nowhere to be seen.
"To be able to see through the Howling Firmament Beast's illness with a single glance and guide a 1-star apothecary to forge a grade-2 pinnacle pill …"
Grandmaster Qing Yang's lips quivered as he turned to look at the young man.
The more he looked, the more incredulous he felt.
Putting aside him, even the famous Beiwu Kingdom's Liu Shi wasn't capable of such a feat.
As long as such a person didn't die, his name would surely resound throughout the kingdom.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
Grandmaster Qing Yang couldn't help but turn to look at Zhang Xuan.
"Me?" Zhang Xuan glanced at him and said, "My name is Jumbled Mess!"
"Jumbled Mess?"
Grandmaster Qing Yang froze.
Previously, when the other party touched the Howling Firmament Beast, he said that the other party was an insignificant figure and wanted Hall Master Feng to chase him away …. He didn't expect the other party to throw his words back at him.
Even an influential figure invited by the Beast Hall wasn't able to treat the Howling Firmament Beast, nearly killing it. Yet, not only did this insignificant figure treat it, he even helped it break through its bottleneck and reach Half-Zhizun ….
Grandmaster Qing Yang felt his face heating up. He couldn't bear to stay any longer. "Hall Master Feng, Beast Tamer Lu, and Beast Tamer Wang, I'll be taking my leave!"
After which, he turned around and left. He didn't even ride on the aerial savage beast of the Beast Hall.
He had embarrassed himself greatly this time, and he didn't have the face to stay any longer.
"This …"
Seeing how Zhang Xuan made a grandmaster physician leave in shame with just a few words, everyone's mouths twitched.
This fellow might seem like a nonchalant person, but when it came to it, he was truly fearsome.
It could be said that … one could choke to death without paying for it!
"Beast Tamer Liu, send Grandmaster Qing Yang off!"
Hall Master Feng didn't expect Zhang Xuan to say such words. Smiling bitterly, he shook his head and instructed.
Young and capable, it was normal for him to retaliate after being insulted in such a manner.
"Yes!" The elder hurriedly chased after Zhang Xuan.
It wasn't that Grandmaster Qing Yang's diagnosis was lacking, but that he had been treating humans for a long time. As such, he wasn't familiar with savage beasts. Besides, who could guarantee that he could diagnose the Howling Firmament Beast accurately every single time?
Even a Nine Star physician wouldn't be able to do so.
There were all kinds of illnesses, and no one dared to claim that they had seen all of them. It was just a matter of whether they were skilled in it or not.
Hu la!
After Beast Tamer Lu left, the rising aura of the Howling Firmament Beast finally came to a stop. It turned its massive head around and landed on Zhang Xuan. Roaring, it walked up to him, lowered its head, and rubbed its head against him.
"This is … voluntary submission?"
Even though this Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast was reared by the Beast Hall, it had never submitted to anyone.
Yet, at this moment, it actually submitted to Zhang Xuan. All of the beast tamers present widened their eyes in shock and they nearly fainted from shock.
Especially Hall Master Feng. His body trembled uncontrollably, and he was on the verge of tears.
It was just a moment ago that the Beast Hall was going to rise, but this savage beast submitted to someone else. Once it leaves with its master …. Without its master, how could the Beast Hall rise?
"You want to submit to me?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before realization dawned upon him.
This fellow might have learned of the truth after waking up. Knowing that he had saved its life, it wanted to acknowledge him as its master out of gratitude.
"Alright!"
It just so happened that he felt that the Viridescent Eagle wasn't fast enough. Since the Howling Firmament Beast had reached Half-Zhizun realm, its speed should be sufficient!
With a tap of his finger, a droplet of blood flew out for the Howling Firmament Beast to swallow.
A Will of Submission was immediately transmitted over.
Just as he had guessed, the Howling Firmament Beast knew that its manhood was nearly cut off, and it knew that the person before it had saved its life and helped it achieve a breakthrough. Thus, it hurriedly acknowledged him as its master.
After acknowledging him as its master, if anything were to happen, it could communicate with its master. At the very least, it wouldn't be in as much danger as before.
"Un!"
Knowing all of this, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
He didn't expect that not only would he tame three savage beasts in this trip to the Beast Hall, he would even become a 1-star beast tamer.
"Ah, right. Hall Master Feng, I asked you about the 2-star beast tamer examination previously, but you didn't tell me about it …."
Suddenly recalling a matter, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Previously, when he asked about the 2-star beast tamer examination, Grandmaster Qing Yang happened to be there, so he didn't have the time to answer. Now that he was free, he decided to clarify the matter.
Even though he had this Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast, since he had the opportunity to take the 2-star beast tamer examination, he might as well finish the examination first. In the future, he would be able to ride a Zongshi realm beast mount for free in other Beast Halls.
"2-star beast tamer examination …."
Hall Master Feng shook his head. "You need not take the examination!"
"Need not take the examination?"
"Yes, because … you have already passed the examination! You're already a 2-star beast tamer now! "
Hall Master Feng smiled bitterly.
(Close to four thousand words long! Seeking monthly votes! I have fallen to fifth place! It's not that I don't want to explode, but that I can't write fast enough. I'm about to enter the plot of Poison Temple, and after that, I'll be taking the master teacher examination. I haven't planned out the details properly, and it involves the main storyline, world background, master teachers, and the Library of Heaven's Path. In fact, there's even a line that connects directly to the end of the book. Laoya is currently pulling on his hair. Everyone, don't rush me. ~ ~ ~ (_) ~ ~ ~)
